Answer: alternative B.

Explanation: An understatement is made when less importance is given to a determined situation, in order for the reader be convinced that it's not so aggravating as the habit of eating children is being depicted in it. Also, the situation is even worse due to the fact that the women who were supposed to eat them would also become mothers, implying that their children would be eaten as well.
